Crazy
Gang

The
Crazy Gang is a team of professional criminals who resemble
children's storybook characters and who originated in
another dimension. The group has five members: the Executioner,
a hooded humanoid robot wielding a scythe; the Jester,
who is an accomplished swordsman; the Knave, who possesses
superhuman strength; the Red Queen, best known for her
continual cries of "Off with its head!"; and
Tweedledope, an idiot savant who is capable of devising
extraordinarily advanced machinery, and who has a strange
affinity for rats. Tweedledope, in fact, apparently invented
the robotic entity known as Widget,

The Crazy Gang is the creation of an otherdimensional
counterpart of the Englishman Sir James Jaspers who lived
on an alternate Earth that has been designated, as Earth
238. This was the native world of Linda McQuillan, alias
Captain UK, who served the same heroic role that Brian
Braddock, alias Captain
Britain, does on his own Earth. The Jaspers of Earth
238 was a superhuman mutant with vast psionic powers who
succeeded in taking control of his world.

The Crazy Gang was later transported to the Earth of
Captain Britain. Proving totally incompetent at committing
crimes on their own, the Crazy Gang placed an advertisement
in a newspaper in order to find themselves a leader. As
a result they entered the employ Of Captain Britain's
foe, Slaymaster, who masterminded a series of spectacular
crimes that the Crazy Gang committed for him, including
robberies of the Royal Mint, the British Museum, and Britain's
National Gallery. As Slaymaster had hoped, these robberies
aroused the interest of Captain Britain, who hunted down
the perpetrators. Slaymaster and the Crazy Gang then captured
Captain Britain. Having no more use for the Crazy Gang,
Slaymaster dismissed them from his service. Subsequently,
Captain Britain defeated Slaymaster and in an encounter
months later, killed him.

Eventually the Crazy Gang found a new employer, the master
assassin, Arcade.
Arcade sent the Crazy Gang to abduct Courtney Ross, the
former girlfriend of Captain Britain.Ross succeeded in
escaping from her inept would-be captors, but was nonetheless
taken prisoner by Arcade himself. Subsequently, the Crazy
Gang clashed with Captain Britain and his teammates in
Excalibur, including Meggan,
Nightcrawler,
Phoenix,
and Shadowcat.
Tweedledope used a device he had apparently invented to
exchange his mind with that of Captain Britain, Nightcrawler's
with the Jester's, and Megan's with the Knave, Phoenix
demolished the Executioner's robotic body, but the Executioner's
consciousness took possession of her. Eventually, the
mind exchanges were reversed, Phoenix broke free from
her possession, and Arcade and the Crazy Gang were defeated.
The Crazy Gang is currently in the custody of the British
legal authorities.

At some point, the Crazy Gang escaped or were freed from
prison, but continued to lie low in this scary world.
Soon, Tweedledope came across the wandering Joyboy, who
had, with the rest of his teammates of the Technet, helped
Excalibur on a mission.

Tweedledope kidnapped Joyboy, bringing him back to the
Crazy Gang. Joyboy tried to use his reality-twisting powers
against the Red Queen, to put her fantasies into reality
and twist them, but, as Captain Britian put it, since
"the Red Queen's insanity distorts the fairytale
imagery of Alice in Wonderland into a snake pit of dark
fantasies, Joyboy reverses the distortion." The two
negatives cancelled each other out, and the two ended
up recreating the world around them into a peaceful, happy
wonderland. The Crazy Gang then invited the townspeople
around them to share in this paradise, and they disappeared
for a long time. Excalibur investigated this disappearance
and Captain Britain breifly clashed with the Gang. The
Crazy Gang wanted to simply stay and play with the people
around them, and so Excalibur left them in peace.
